Travis, The AX at Pennington would be a great place for you to do your first event.

The lot is fairly small and the course is not very complicated....plus the surface is very decent on tread wear.

Posted on the market place already and posting here is worth a shot. I'm looking to buy a 350z, no color preference, around 50-70k miles. If you know anyone that is selling, please please please please contact me. Text your 350z buddies. These cars are so hard to come by- craigslist and autotrader are a ghost own. Thanks.

I'm looking for a manual and not a convertible. Almost every 350z on autotrader is a convertible. And It has to be around 70K mileage, I'm planning on keeping the car for about >5 years.

it has been really quite on here. jake and i installed my sway bars this morning. to me the steering feels more responsive, and when i was driving home i noticed when i went over speed bumps that the bushings are sqeaking and that there is a rubbing sound. i am thinking the bushings will stop when the oil on them from the factory wears off and they heat up from the engine. the rubbing i think is the sway rubbing against the undershroud... wonder if i can put a couple of washers under it to space it some

If they're squeaking then they need grease. The bushings need to be lubed so the bar can twist as it's supposed to. It will also slide left and right a bit.

As for rubbing on the shroud... I hope that's not the case. You don't want to put spacer washers in because it could add preload to the bars and they won't act like they're supposed to.

What settings did you start with?

Travis, the Hotchkis sways should have come with some grease packets to help with the squeaking noise....but if you feel or hear a rubbing sound ? Then that isn't right.

FYI...my car squeaks and makes weird noises when I'm going thru parking lots at very low speeds...but when you drive on the streets....i never hear it.

I would love to get all my querky noises out of my Z...but I know it would be impossible.

If it squeaks it most likely needs lube. There's a chance it could be binding so that's another concern, but most likely just needs some grease or teflon.
